Description Trang Tran CLA 2004-08-13 17:00:10 EDT
When switching between two opened text editors using Ctrl+F6, screen reader 
does not read the window that appears with the choices of opened diagrams.

Steps:
1) Open 2 text editors
2) Set focus to 1 text editor
3) Press Ctrl+F6
4) Once the window appears, use arrow keys to decide which text editor to view.

Freedom Scientific JAWS does not read anything throughout this process.

Lin and Frank have done some testing in this area and found the following:
1. Hold Control down and repeatedly press F6 and JAWS repeats the highlighted 
item, so when you hear the file you want, you can let go of Control.
2. If we follow the steps listed in this report, we find that we cannot press 
arrow keys to move through the file list.
We think that using step 1 above provides proper accessibility for this 
process.  Control+F7 works this way as well.

Marking as WORKSFORME as this is possible
